To the editor: The cease-and-desist order by the city of Compton against residents Daisy and Alex De La Rosa that dictates that they stop filling potholes on city streets, may seem mean-spirited and counterproductive, but it is not. Potholes are formed by water that seeps into cracks in the roadway surface when it rains. Water is virtually incompressible, and when it gets trapped in a layer between the road surface and the roadbed, the pressure of cars driving on the roadway creates a hydraulic...
To the editor: In addition to the reforms discussed in your April 12 editorial about L.A. City Hall's corruption problem, I've got one more. Mayor Karen Bass, whose election I supported as a donor and volunteer, should henceforth refuse to endorse any City Council member who is under an ethics investigation. This spring, she endorsed Distric 12 incumbent John Lee, despite the fact that he faces 10 ethics charges in the case that sent his predecessor and former boss Mitchell Englander to prison....
The skin toasted Australian Minister of Defence, Richard Marles, who resembles, with each day, the product of an overly worked solarium, was adamant. Not only will Australians be paying a bill up to and above A$368 billion for nuclear powered submarines it does not need; it will also be throwing A$100 billion into the coffers of More
In response to editorial on ceasefire I read today’s paper while visiting my in-laws in Lowell and your recent editorial called for a permanent Gaza ceasefire, did not include hostage release. First, Hamas repeatedly declared its intention to carry out multiple Oct 7ths and called for Oct 13th as a day to kill Jews a […]
Although they control both the Senate and the White House, the Democrats have failed to produce anything for the American people in the past three years.
MAD, MAD WORLD It’s not only dismaying, but baffling to see modern day fascism continuing to fill our streets with hate and evil. Professional, genocide-chanting social justice martyrs are gladly professing their support for terrorists who murder, rape and torture. It is beyond comprehension that people today can knowingly and deliberately choose to side with […]
I was reading an article last week about members of the "Squad" demanding that anti-Jewish protesters be released and allowed to resume their terrorist-supporting activities -- and I have to say, this just shows that these members of Congress hate Jews.
Tulsi Gabbard is the smartest and bravest potential vice presidential candidate in America right now, in my opinion, because she speaks the truth.
Flipped Eclipse? I think the time-lapse picture of the eclipse on the cover of the April 10 issue is flipped. We watched from Montpelier, and the shadow wedge entered from the bottom and traveled up the sun. After totality, there was a sudden wedge of bright white light at the bottom that looked like the sun was shining a spotlight on us. It was not the golden sunlight; it was brilliant white and produced sharp-edged shadows. At the end, there was not the wedge we started with; rather, it looked...
There is a fundamental flaw in Everett Piper’s argument in “The heart of Donald Trump and the immutable truth” (web, April 13).
It is time to say what the Biden administration is desperate to hide.
What Burlington Needs [Re "Burlington Council Advances South End, Memorial Auditorium Plans," March 11, online]: I do hope everyone realizes that the Memorial Auditorium block plan was voted on: Unanimously, city councilors have approved the budget item with the amendments that allow Memorial Auditorium to be torn down. That is something a majority of residents do not want. We had a citywide survey a few years ago, and then the mayor vetoed the idea that we must keep Memorial Auditorium (as a...
